Please Improve Audio
I enjoy your content, but would greatly appreciate better audio quality. It’s a bit too “tin can.”
Thanks
Audio quality is often poor
The audio quality is often poor. Often it sounds like the host is inside a closet or a barrel. It’s been this way for years. You would think by now they might have learned something about podcast production and improved their audio, but no. Some episodes sound than others, but on average they get a “C” (just acceptable; not great) grade for production quality. Don’t they care? After all, they represent the magazine.
Top content quality
Perhaps the best intellectually rich and spiritually enriching podcast with a catholic perspective. The only negative thus far, after listening to about 20 podcasts in various places (home, walking with headphones, driving, etc.), is the poor sound quality. I won’t get into details but any good sound technician could improve the quality easily.
